HONEYBEE: Efficient Role-based Access Control for Vector Databases via Dynamic Partitioning

Journal article Proceedings of the ACM on Management of Data · April 2, 2026 Enterprise deployments of vector databases require access control policies to protect sensitive data. These systems often implement access control through hybrid vector queries that combine nearest-neighbor search with relational predicates based o ... Full text Cite

LLM.265: Video Codecs Are Secretly Tensor Codecs

Journal article IEEE Micro · January 1, 2026 Video codecs have been refined for decades to compress visual data efficiently. This paper revisits them as general-purpose tensor codecs for large language models. LLM training and inference are increasingly limited by memory footprint and communication b ... Full text Cite

Serving and Optimizing Machine Learning Workflows on Heterogeneous Infrastructures

Journal article Proceedings of the VLDB Endowment · November 1, 2022 With the advent of ubiquitous deployment of smart devices and the Internet of Things, data sources for machine learning inference have increasingly moved to the edge of the network. Existing machine learning inference platforms typically assume a homogeneo ... Full text Cite

Listening to bluetooth beacons for epidemic risk mitigation.

Journal article Scientific reports · April 2022 The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic let to efforts to develop and deploy digital contact tracing systems to expedite contact tracing and risk notification. Unfortunately, the success of these systems has been limited, partly owing to poor interoperability with m ... Full text Cite
